Jede Jahreszeit

Jede Jahreszeit Hat ihr Freud' und Leid; Mai ist schön, doch hat er falschen Sinn. Darum Juni mein Sollst willkommen sein, Nun die weißen Blüten sind dahin. Wenn die Stralen glühn, Ruht sich's gut im Grün, [Wo]1 der Vogel pfeift im Walde frei; Unter'm Schattendach Denkt die Seele nach, Wird auch fröhlich und gesund dabei.
